Neurosurgical training
Neurosurgeons undergo extensive education and training, typically requiring 7-8 years of postgraduate medical education, including medical school and residency. Many neurosurgeons also pursue additional fellowship training in subspecialties such as pediatric neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, or functional neurosurgery.
The Halstedian model, named after Dr. William Stewart Halsted, is an approach to surgical education and training that was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
